1) Ecological rainfall infrastructure involves investing in trees for sustainable development. Trees help store water by changing soils to be more effective buffers. 2) Trees consume water through evapotranspiration which leads to air cooling. They also help recycle water and store it in soils. This makes streamflow from forests more gradual. 3) Rainfall over land comes from oceans (60%) and vegetation (40%) on land. Trees use 100-200 mm more water per year than short vegetation through evapotranspiration, which has a cooling effect and puts more water in the atmosphere.
